121. Wilson's story is so lame

That I think that's why they avoided the trial. They knew how embarrassing the trial would be and how hard it would be to acquit. Zimmerman at least had some story that was tenable.

But this is ridiculous. If Wilson was in the car and felt threatened he could have driven away and called for back up. Zimmerman had about ten outs from his alleged impending death at the bare hands of a black kid, but in the very very end, there could have been a scuffle Zimmerman thought he might lose. But to be an actual cop, in a cruiser, with your weapon, and feel threatened by someone outside the vehicle is ridiculous. That anyone unarmed would reach into the vehicle to get your gun is so untenable that it would never survive the trial process. Thus, to get him off, they had to risk it at this point.
